Occasionally a story stops me in my tracks. Jandy and Jonathan’s story is one of those. I am posting these in record time (for me!) and in part, it is driven by this story. Jandy and Jonathan planned a wedding in less than a month! Jandy’s mom is very ill and couldn’t be involved in the planning and so ill that she wasn’t able to be there to celebrate with us. When I heard all of that, I knew I had a mission… I had to capture this day starting with the amazing friends and family members who rallied to make this day possible for Jandy and Jonathan in short time– and to shoot the story, start to finish, for Jandy’s mom. I can’t imagine missing my daughter’s wedding. I can’t imagine not having my mom there to watch as I put on that white dress and felt the excitement of knowing my life was forever changing. So I shot this wedding as a mom and as a daughter and as a documenter. This very simple– small– backyard celebration really does prove that life is beautiful. It does not need to be an elaborate, opulent affair– beauty is found in love and joy and promises. And when it is fleeting you need need to grasp it and let it find you!
congratulations Jandy + Jonathan, I am so proud of you. You allowed true love to find you in the end, despite difficult circumstances. This is the beginning of your prevailing story.
